Basketball Game
Thosc auburn tresscd queens of
the basketball court, the All-
Amcrican Red Heads, who lay
claims to the girls‘ basketball
Championship of the world, pay
Shelton their third visit in .the
past four years next Tuesday eve-
ning to stage the “rubber” match
of a series with the best mas-
culine players Shelton can dig
up which now stands at a game
apiece.
Twice before the Red Heads and
the Town Team have tangled, and
the result is a duke apiece. The
Townies copped the first one, the
Red Heads squared the count in
the second meeting.
Fund To Be Padded
Injected into this third public
rendezvous of the two rivals next
Tuesday eveningisa bit of public
benefit as well'as public enter-
tainment for half the net pro-

The Gar-

'dcn Club and the city basketball
league are sponsoring the Red
l-Icads' appearance here jointly,
the league using its half to apply
on gym rental. ,
The Red Heads take the ‘floor
at Lincoln gym- at 8:30 Tuesday
evening after a preliminary game
starting at 7:30 between the Mc-
Cleary Timber team of the city
basketball league and the town
team of McCleary, in adjoining
Grays Harbor county, has been
played.
Long Shot Experts
The feminine court tourists de-
pend largely on their uncanny
ability to cage long range shots
for their points, but with six-
foot—four-inch Genevieve Love,
six-foot-two-inch Hazel Smith, and
six-foot-two-inch Ruth Osborn in
the lineup the Red Heads are a
distinct threat under the hoop,
too. Miss Osborn, a mannish
looking girl, plays the same type
of game as her masculine rivals
and can dish out the rough stuff
as well as any of them, as the
crowds who have watched her per-
form here before can readily tes-
tify.
The Red Heads lose something
like half their games, the edge
Lbeing in their favor, playing men’s
teams entirely under men’s rules,
asking and receiving no quafi‘ter.
But their losses are usually by
close scores.
An advance ticket sale is being
conducted by the Garden Club with
Mrs. Winston Scott covering Hill-
crest, Mrs. H. G. Angle and Mrs.
Mark Rodgers on Angleside, Mrs.
Peter Zopolis, Mrs. Hal Briggs
.and Mrs. Logan Mitchell in charge
of downtown coverage.

Rayonier Incorporated, held its
5-year event in dinner and pro-
in recognition of its em-
pioyes who during 1940 had pass-
ed their five and ten-year steady
employment with the company in
3its Shelton plant, and 51 men were
presented with the coveted gold,
service pins at Hotel Shelton Tues-
day evening.
George Cropper, resident man-
ager, opened the after—dinner pro-
gram with brief remarks on the
purpose of the gathering and the
appreciation of company officials
over the harmonious relations
which have .always ruled between
employer and employees in the
pulp mills here, the good service
rendered by those who have grown
in the organization and in the
community.
Welch Toastmaster
He introduced William D. Welch,
of the Industrial Relations de-
partment, as toastmaster of the
evening. v
Mr. Welch, who is no stranger
in Shelton, took charge and felici—
as indicating the spirit of good
will which has ruled between the
company, its employes and the
ed out that the officials whether
in .San Francisco or elsewhere,
felt themselves a part of Shelton,
interested in its welfare, watch-
ful over its progress, and rejoic-
ing over the advance the city had
made along with Rayonier. He
expressed pleasure over the per-
manency and steady employment
afforded by the, pulp mill, as re-
flected in the fact that nearly
eighty per cent of its employes
were home owners in and near
the city.
Mayor William E. Stevenson
responded in a talk of welcome
in which he stressed the harmony
and progress of the community,
in large part due to the pulp in-
dustry, the interest in local af-
fairs by company officials. and
employes, and the substantial
growth made by the city because
of its important industry. He
pointed out that a good employe
with his home and family must of
necessity be a good citizen and
builder in the community.
Birthday Guest
As A. B. Govey, a guest of the
evening, that day enjoyed his 70th
anniversary the gathering sang_the
“Happy Birthday” song in his
honor.

ty prosecutor’s office during 1940,
the annual report of that office,
released today by Prosecuting At-

In the justice cases, the prose-

against seven acquittals, the lar-
gest number of these cases being
game law violations, where ten
convictions were obtained in
eleven trials. ‘
Of the 33 superior court crim-

one sentence was deferred, and
nine acquittals made, the report
indicates.
With five cases each, petty and
grand larceny charges were the
most frequent among the superior
court cases, although imbecility
and insanity each had three cases
for the prosecutor to handle.

It isn't Treasurer Omer Dion’s
idea of a joke, understand, it’s
simply a coincidence that 1941
tax statements, some 8000 of
them, will be reaching Mason
County property owners on Val-
entine’s Day or thereabouts.
\Vork of preparing the state—
ments is completed annually
during the week of Valentine’s
Day and they are put in the
mail at that time, arriving with
the more popular sentimental
messages (and frequently hu-
morous, too) which friends and
relatives remember each other
with.
If the taxes are paid in full
by March 15, a three per cent
discount is given, Treasurer
Dion reminded statement re-
ceivers. Half of the total amount
of real estate taxes'fall due

total amount may be split and
the remainder of the sum be-

approved by the state office and
forwarded to Washington, D. C.,
for final approval, can W. Smith,
state Work Projects Administra-
tor advised Robert Trenckmann,
County Commissioner

Not only will improvement of

duce maintenance costs, but road
improvement is now considered of
vast importance to National De-
. Work on this county-wide
project iiicludes clearing and grad-
ing of 94 acres and approximate-
ly 150,000 cu. yds. of excavation.
The roads will be widened and
straightened and 1,650 feet of tim-
ber guard rails, also bridges and
culverts will be built. Plans al-
so call for 40 miles of oil and 92,—
700 cu. yds. of gravel surfacing
and laying of 3,900 lin. ft. of cul-
vert pipe.
Federal funds allocated to cov-
er cost of labor amount to $156,-
140 while the county will contri-
bute $108,620 for supervision, ma-
terial and other non-labor costs.
